Bug#980809: Matrix package default tolerance on s390x (Re: Bug#980809: rmatrix: breaks autopkgtest of r-cran-glmmtmb on s390x)

Graham, Thanks for the bug tracker follow-up which made me aware of the ongoing discussion in #665 at glmmTMB. It's frustrating to have the run around but it really looks like as I argued all along: not an issue in Matrix. Now, TMB is of course a complex package too.. Appreciate you chasing
